Dynamic DNS Profiles

The Dynamic DNS Profiles table provides information about configured DDNS profiles.

Profile Name Name assigned to the DDNS entry during its creation. This can be any value and is used only for identification.

Taken Offline Locally DDNS entry is administratively offline. If the entry is enabled, the action configured in the Offline Settings section of the Advanced page of Add DDNS Profile is taken.
Abuse DDNS provider has considered the type or frequency of updates to be abusive. Check with the DDNS provider's guidelines to determine what is considered abuse.
No IP change Abuse possible. A forced update without an IP address change is considered by some DDNS providers to be abusive. Automatic updates only occur when address or state changes occur. Manual or forced updates should only be made when absolutely necessary, such as when registered information is incorrect.

Invalid Account Account information provided is not valid. Check the profile's settings and verify the DDNS account status with the provider.
